MONTREAL, Oct. 29.-At st. Scho-
lastic, early Yesterday morning, far
mer found two women lying in barn
in pools of blood. One was dead and
he other dying. Both women were
carried to Fillian's farm house and the
dying woman told the following story:
She was the wife of Fillian and the
dead woman was her daughter. Early
in the week her husband went to Otta-
wa on business and the women were
left alone in the house. Night before
last about 8 o'clock two tramps came
to the door and asked for something to
eat. They were taken in and given
near, they said: ''That settles it, we
will keep you company all night.
They found demijohn half full of
whisky and were soon drunk and began
to insult the women, who finally made
a dash for the door and succeeded in
getting out and ran into the barn for
protection. The tramps followed them
and struggle for life and honor began.
One of them seized her daughter, who
fought with the energy of despair.
Finding he would be unable to accom-
plish his fiendish purpose, he desisted
for a moment. picked up hay fork
and struck the girl on the head. Mrs.
Fillian, who in the meantime had been
with the other brute, re-
members no more and cannot tell
what she was struck with, but piece
of cord wood with blood on it probably
tells the tale,

the Chief Marshal of the. day,
General Wade Hamilton, riding side
by side with Governor Fitz-Hugh Lee,
both superbly mounted. Then followed
the Governors staff in brilliant uni
form and the Assistant Marshals.
Next in successive order came the
Virginia Confederate Veteran Camps,
Veterans of Maryland, Line Volunteer
Infantry of Virginia and North Caro-
LIMA Artillery and then all the various
civic organizations. The whole made
such display as was meyer before seen
in Richmond. Dense crowds packed
the sidewalks along the whole route of
march and enthusiasm of the populace
was given vent to in almost inceSsant
cheers.
About the time the procession had
reached the western corporate limits
near the monument grounds, a steady
driZzle Of rain again set in and con-
tinued so that the programme was cut
short by the postponement of the read
ing of the poem and the delivery of the
Grafton. The corner stone, however,
was laid with all the impressive Ma
sonic ceremonies. The Grafton will be
delivered and the poem read this even
ing in the Hall of the House of Dele
gates. notwithstanding the disagree
able weather and the muddy condition
of the grounds and vicinity, the vast
ground was almost covered with peo-
pie, the multitude being estimated at
from Is, 600 to 10000.

AnInfernal NIaehine.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-About 10
O'Clock last night a young man, aged
about twenty-one years, dressed in the
garb of the American district telegraph
messenger, presented himself at the
residence of Joseph Wechster, of the
dry goods firm of Webster s. Abra-
hams, Brooklyn. To the servant, who
opened the door, he handed small
package addressed to Mr.. Wechsler.
The package was carried to Mrs.
Wechsler and she attempted to open
it, when there was sudden explosion.
The servants rushed into the room and
found Mrs. Wechsler in a terrible con-
dition. Her face and hands were badly
lacerated and she was almost blinded.
The boy too was rolling about the
floor in agony. Examination
showed that the faces of Mrs.
Wechsler and her son were filed with
small pieces of metal which had been
driven into them by the force of the
explosion. The boy, while painfully
hurt, is not considered in any danger,
but IN the case of Mrs. Wechsler it is
feared that lockjaw may set in and that
her death is certain. There was no
sign of any machinery to have worked
an explosion, and the only reasonable
explanation offered was that some new
kind of chemical compound had been
used, which, while occupying small
space, has tremendous force and is
exploded by slight friction.

New YORK. Oct. 29.-Dun s. Co., in
their weekly review of trade, say
During the past week and during the
month the value of business has dimin-
ished somewhat, as is natural at this
season, but the October trade in some
branches and sections, falls behind
that of the same month last year, a
fact partly explained by the unusual
volume of business in September. The
distribution of goods purchased does
not quite meet expectations and COL
lections are still slow or but fair in
many places, though the situation in
that respect is more favorable than it
appeared to be a week or two ago. De-
mandS for accommodation from west and
south are still frequent, and the drain
of money from this point has not ceas-
ed, though it has lessened in volume,
partly because many balances have
been drawn down to the minimum end.
Some applications for accommodation
have been refused.
Exchanges still reflect fair activity
in trade and railroad statistics. The
movement of products is large for the
season. A conservative indisposition
to undertake new enterprises has
appeared since July, and has brought a
timely check in railroad building,
real estate operations and some
branches of manufacturing, conse-
quently liquidation of past operations
is now the feature of most interest. If
that progresses satisfactorily the out
look for an excellent trade in the fu-
ture is good. Thus far the returns in
dictate fair progress in settlements in
most branches of trade, and at NEST
southern and western points, but some
exceptions are noted. The collapse of
many iron mining companies of
the Gogebic range throws hundreds
out of employment, and brings disaster
to a multitude of small investors in
their stocks and to many tradesmen.
At several localities where real estate
speculation had became excessive a
year ago, failure to make second pay
mentS is now producing reaction with
severe losses to mary.
All over the southwest there are
many holders of real estate paper who
are seeking payments, not always with
uccesS. From some points, this weeks
reports indicate some improvement in
collecting, fair activity in business
and a diminishing stringency in the
money markets. at Chicago the mer-
chantile demand for accommodation is
undated, though collections have i'm
proved and shipments of money to the
| country have moderated. At Omaha

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-The steam
ship Gaelic arrived this morning from
Hong Kong and Yokohama, and brings
advices to the effect that on September
10 the Chinese transport Walee was
lost in the Pescadores and go Chinese
and five Europeans were drowned. The
British bark Oxford was stranded on
the BatOoncoast, September 10, but no
lives we're lost. 1t is also reported that
the steamer Anton encountered ty-
phoon, during which the Second Officer
overheard and drowned. The typhoon
is reported from various places in the
China Sea and nearly all vessels ar
irving at Hong Kong are reported as
having suffered more or less. 1t is re-
ported that Jardine, Mattison & Co.
have concluded to contract with Vice
roy Lii Lung Chong for the supply of
So 600, 900 worth of war material.
The steamship Gaelic also brought
Chinese papers containing copies of the
agreement for establishing a China
American bank. The agreement con-
siStS of ten articles:
First Article-Provides that the
ank shall be known as the China
American Bank, and that its capital
will be supervised and safeguarded by
the respective Governments of China
and the United States.
Second Article-Provides that the
capital shall consist of 10000, 900 of
American dollars.
Third Article-Declares that Mr..
Vanderbilt will act as President in the
United States, but the Vice-President
will be sent to China to attend to bust
ness there.
The remaining articles then provide
for the coinage of silver or gold money
by the bank and for the issuance of
paper money to the amount of one-half
of the capital of the bank. Conces-
sions heretofore mentioned to the effect
that the bank is to be the meuium of
all loans for the construction of railway
and telegraph lines in the Empire, are
then cited

Anarchist Plot.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-An evening paper
says: There is an anarchistic plot to
break into or blow up the Jail, the po-
lice think, but extraordinary precau-
lions are being to crush it in it's incep-
ton. One arrest has already been
made and there is likely to be more to-
night. The person arrested, a boy
was seen lettering about in the
vicinity of the Jail last Thursday, in
found they were being watched they at
tempted to run away. The boy was
captured but the man escaped. The
police in searching the boy discovered
several papers giving a description of
the jail. The police are now endeav-
Oring to find the man who escaped and
are preserving the utmost secrecy in
the matter.
